There's this thing called trains, it has worked for commuting since 1834.
Do trains suddenly work really good for emergency medical transport or are you being lazy and just reacting to the headline?
No, I read the whole article, and came to the same conclusion as it, not ready for the general commuter. I'm aware eVTOL has other uses. I apologize if my getting directly to the point comes off as lazy or hostile.
Than why are you reiterating points the article makes itself?
I agree with the article in the sense that eVTOL isn't currently feasible for commuting, but the article doesn't mention that an appropriate solution for the modern and future commuter already exists, and doesn't require eVTOL technology. What the article missed is trains, that's exactly what I pointed out after reading (the whole article and not just looking at the title) because the article doesn't contain a single mention of trains or railways except as a means to mask eVTOL noise or as a usecase to inspect existing infrastructure, not as the solution itself. I framed it as the article ignoring it because that was indeed ignored as part of the solution to the issue of commuting, not organ transport or medivac.
